Closed Immediately Reintroduce Private Parking Code of Practice

Closed on

I am campaigning on behalf of 35 million motorists for the Government Private Parking Code of Practice to be immediately reintroduced. We believe inadequate regulation of private parking frustrates the lives of millions of motorists.

I am an 85-year-old pensioner and have been pursued by a parking company for an alleged parking violation. The claim was eventually dismissed by the Royal Courts of Justice, but I want the Government to take action to protect motorists from unfair charges and claims.

The British Parking Association and the International Parking Community have announced that it will implement a new Code of Practice for private car parks, but it has been reported that this will not address important issues such as a cap on parking charges, debt recovery, or an independent appeals process.

We believe the private parking industry is trending toward anarchy and must be brought to order by re-launching the Government Code immediately.
